Approved February 18, 1960

Be it enacted by the General Assembly of Virginia:

1. That § 15-241, as amended, of the Code of Virginia, be amended
and reenacted as follows:

§ 15-241. Except as otherwise provided by law, the board of super-
visors of each county shall assemble at the courthouse of the county or
some county building located at the county seat, in regular session once
each month upon such day as may be prescribed by an order of the board
and it may adjourn from day to day, or time to time, not beyond the time
fixed for the regular meeting, until the business before it is completed. The
meeting held in July shall be known as the annual meeting of the board
and that held in January as its semiannual meeting. Provided, however,
that if the board prescribes any county buildings, other than the court-
house as a meeting place, the board shall pass a resolution as to such future
meeting place and shall cause a copy of such resolution to be posted on the
door of the courthouse and inserted in a newspaper having general cir-
culation in the county once a week for two successive weeks prior to the
first such meeting at such county office building.

The board of supervisors of any county adjoining a county having a
population in excess of one thousand a square mile may hold as many
regular sessions as are required to transact any business coming before
the board. And the board of Arlington County shall hold at least two
regular meetings each month, upon such days as may be prescribed by an
order of the board. The board of Arlington County may meet at the county
courthouse or at such other public place in the county as the board pre-
scribes; no meeting of the board shall be held at a place other than the
county courthouse unless and until notice of the time and place of such
meeting has been given by publication thereof in a newspaper of general
circulation in Arlington County, at least fifteen days prior to said meeting
The board of supervisors of any county which has its courthouse or
office buildings within the geographical boundaries of a city having a
population of more than two hundred and thirty thousand may meet at the
courthouse or any other building owned by the county and may hold as
many regular sessions as are required to transact any business coming
before the board.

The board of supervisors of Princess Anne County may hold two
regular meetings each month upon such days as may be prescribed by order
of the board. ,

2. An emergency exists and this act is in force from its passage.
